Chapter 181: Chapter 151: Miss Jiang, Plead With Your Husband for Me

After the meal, Ma Xiaofei linked her arm through his and they left together.

Walking down the street, he watched as people occasionally shot them envious glances.

This gave Jiang Ming a huge ego boost.

As it happened, he didn’t have class this afternoon, so he could skip out on work.

Ever since the principal found out about Jiang Ming’s connection to Lu Fan, he had taken a great liking to Lu Fan’s brother-in-law, Jiang Ming.

He even nominated him to be the vice director of the moral education department next semester.

Although it was just a nominal position, Jiang Ming knew it was one of the principal’s little tricks to curry favor with him.

In any case, Jiang Ming was still quite grateful to Lu Fan for this.

Of course, Jiang Ming wouldn’t forgive Lu Fan on his sister’s behalf just because of this one thing.

Now, after being single for so many years, he finally had a girlfriend.

He felt like his luck had finally turned a corner.

He had originally wanted to go shopping with Ma Xiaofei and stay with her until the evening.

But Ma Xiaofei said, "No need, I have to work overtime tonight. I just snuck out. If you really want to buy me a couple of outfits, why don’t you just transfer me 520? I could buy ten things on Taobao with that."

"Okay, I’ll transfer it to you now." Jiang Ming said as he made the transfer, reminding her, "You can wear one for our next date."

"Okay~"

Seeing that Jiang Ming had really sent the money, Ma Xiaofei happily accepted it.

Then, seeing that it was about time, she waved goodbye. "Alright, I have to go~"

"Okay, why don’t I walk you to work?" Jiang Ming actually wanted to see where Ma Xiaofei worked.

But Ma Xiaofei immediately shook her head. "No, it’s fine. Don’t want you running all over the place. I can get back by myself."

As she spoke, she gave Jiang Ming a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "When I have a day off and some free time, let’s go out and have fun~"

"Okay, okay, okay." The sweet kiss left Jiang Ming completely dazed.

And just like that, Ma Xiaofei left.

Jiang Ming was still savoring the sweet kiss. In this mood, he went straight to Jiang Yixia’s flower shop.

As it happened, Jiang Yixia was just returning to the shop from home.

When she saw Jiang Ming waiting at the shop’s entrance, she asked, a little curious, "Jiang Ming, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Ming, looking smug and pleased with himself, said, "Hehe, Sis, I don’t have class this afternoon, so I thought I’d drop by and see you."

But as soon as Jiang Yixia heard this, she immediately felt that something was off.

’This guy never shows up unless he wants something; he would never visit me on his own initiative.’

Jiang Yixia asked, "Don’t tell me you just finished a date?"

"Sis, I’m not that kind of person." Seeing her still staring at him, Jiang Ming finally had to nod and admit, "Alright, I did just finish a date."

"Was it a date with that girl from before?" Jiang Yixia asked, a little anxious.

Jiang Ming replied, "Of course it was, Sis. I’m not the type to play the field. I’m not going to be dating her while chatting up other girls on the side."

"That’s not what I meant. I just want to tell you, you can’t fall for her just yet. You need to get to know her character. After all, you two have only just met," Jiang Yixia tried to persuade him.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming looked a little awkward.

Seeing the look on his face, Jiang Yixia suddenly had a bad feeling.

She quickly asked, "What’s wrong? What’s your relationship status now?"

"I... she agreed to be my girlfriend today," Jiang Ming answered awkwardly.

The moment Jiang Yixia heard this, she was shocked. "You’ve only known each other for a few days! Not even a week! And you’ve only met three times in total. How could you suddenly become a couple?"

Jiang Ming stammered, "To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be this fast either. We just went out for a meal like usual today, and then she suddenly asked if I liked her. I said yes, and she said she wanted to be my girlfriend."

"And you just agreed?" After asking, Jiang Yixia realized the question was pointless.

After all, Jiang Ming hadn’t been in a relationship for several years. It was only natural for him to be dazed by such a beautiful woman.

Jiang Ming gave an embarrassed chuckle. "Sis, I think she’s a good girl."

"Then what does she do for a living?" Jiang Yixia shot back.

"Didn’t she say she’s a physical therapist?" Jiang Ming replied.

Seeing this, Jiang Yixia had no choice but to take out her phone.

’In this situation, the only thing to do is ask Lu Fan for help.’

When Jiang Ming saw Jiang Yixia about to message Lu Fan, he immediately tried to stop her. "Sis, didn’t you say you wouldn’t contact him?"

"I asked him to help you look into this girl before. I just have a feeling she’s hiding something from you," Jiang Yixia answered directly, not trying to hide anything.

Jiang Ming was rather confused. "Sis, why ask him for help? Don’t you hate him?"

"I just haven’t forgiven him; I don’t hate him," Jiang Yixia stressed. "Besides, who else could possibly find out the truth your new girlfriend isn’t telling you?"

"How could he even check? Besides, there are so many people in Yangcheng. How could he possibly find her just from a name?" Jiang Ming was still skeptical.

Moreover, Jiang Ming was clearly unhappy that Jiang Yixia had told Lu Fan about his love life.

He said bluntly, "Sis, stay out of this. I know what I’m doing. I think she’s a great girl. She’s not materialistic at all—she even offered to pay! In this day and age, a girl who offers to pay on a date is a rare find."

"So how many times has she actually paid?" Jiang Yixia retorted.

Jiang Ming looked a bit awkward and quickly explained, "Well, she offers to pay every time, but I never let her. I always pay myself. But if I didn’t rush to pay the bill, she definitely would have!"

Jiang Yixia was speechless. ’So after all that talk, it turns out she’s never actually treated him.’
